kernel-ml

Kernel-ml for Enterprise Linux 6.

The kernel configuration is based upon the default RHEL-6 configuration with added functionality enabled as appropriate. The packages are intentionally named kernel-ml so as not to conflict with the RHEL-6 kernels and, as such, they may be installed and updated alongside the regular kernel.

To install kernel-ml you will need elrepo-release-6-4.el6.elrepo (or newer). Run:

yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml

You can also Download manually from http://elrepo.org/linux/kernel/el6/
(Or from one of our mirror sites, if one is more conveniently located closer to you.)

There is no need to install the kernel-ml-firmware package. There are more firmware files contained within the distro package than in the kernel-ml package.

Notes

These packages are provided 'As-Is' with no implied warranty or support. Using the kernel-ml may expose your system to security, performance and/or data corruption issues. Since timely updates may not be available from the ELRepo Project, the end user has the ultimate responsibility for deciding whether to continue using the kernel-ml packages in regular service.

If a bug is found when using these kernels, the end user is encouraged to report it upstream to the Linux Kernel Bug Tracker and, for our reference, to the ELRepo bug tracker. By taking such action, the reporter will be assisting the kernel developers, Red Hat and the Open Source Community as a whole.

Known Issues

Currently none are known.
